About
A fascinating and often disturbing exploration of a generation raised on anti-depressants. Author Katherine Sharp, herself a former prescription drug user, tells the story of the societal and scientific perfect storm that led to the explosion of SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) in the 90s and their increased prescription to younger people today. A nuanced and thorough portrait.
